Tiny harvest

My 1st blueberry! There bush is only 3 inches high so there are only five berries this year, but I can honestly say it was the best blueberry I have ever tasted. Grow little bush, grow.Update: It produced about 64 berries the next year. Yee-ha! More details on my Folia pages.

ah so pretty! i had a similar joy today with my first cherry tomato! it's like a concentrated burst of flavor which reminds you of what the vegetable actually was meant to taste like, doesn't it?such joy!

I had my fourth handful of the year down here in London Cally, straight in my porridge for breakfast, delicious! Single plant I've had for about 3 years now, lives in a long tom pot under a phoenix palm I have, so the birds don't get at it before me. Not the prettiest plant in the world but no trouble at all, must get a couple more. Sorry to here about your dog, hope all's well.

hi! so, you don't know me but i check out your blog regularly. i live in california and count on a few blogs to get me through my boring work days...and yours is one of them! i want to eat this blueberry ;)thanks for blogging! you are awesome!--Lindsay Q

Oh, I love it, a tiny blue berry bush yielding its first delicious crop. And such a gorgeous blue berry too, it's strange seeing it so big, if I didn't know what it was I'd see a burnt Japanese clay vessel...Too tired to read through blogs still, catching up slowly, but your pix as usually are great, esp. those of the rain clouds, they're just amazing. The clouds sagging, strangely I'm thinking of cows udders just before milking... Also that there's something brewing, like in a big gravity-upturned cauldron, witches chanting their spells... BEAUTIFUL.

Ahhh...I just bought 2 small bushes ( a lady told me I should at least have 2...so they can pollinate each other...???...10 berries on them :D...Now I´ve got to find a place where they can grow BIGGGG...Lets check our bluebushes next year haha...

Me, M.E. and Gardening

I still have M.E/CFS so my walking life & most of my creative endeavours are on hold and even the garden has had to mostly look after itself since 2013 but previous years of good planning mean it does pretty well and the birds, bees, hedgehogs and other creatures here prefer a slightly unkempt space. I photograph it when I can in order to capture it's changing delights.
